The XTENDEX® HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender multicasts digital video and audio signals to one or more receivers up to 333 feet away over a 1000BASE-T Gigabit Network connected with CAT5e/6/7 cable.
Each HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via CATx cable or a Point-to-Many connection via a network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch.
· Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p.
· Ideal solution for digital signage applications.
· Power over Ethernet (PoE) - power supply not required at the local or remote unit.
· Broadcast real-time HDMI video and audio signals to multiple display locations with a managed or unmanaged (also known as non-managed) network switch.
· Transmits an HDMI signal over one CAT5e/6/7 cable.
· Supports video wall installations from 1x2 to 16x16 screens.
· Plug-and-Play installation allows receivers to find the transmitter automatically on the same network. (Network configuration may be required for Managed network switch.)
· Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
· Built-in scaler - watch compatible sources at 1080p.
· Supports 2-way RS232 commands (control software on a PC, or other automated control system hardware such as Control4 or Crestron) to control any devices attached to the matrix using RS232.
· Integrated mounting brackets for easy surface/wall mounting.
· Inexpensive CAT5e/6/7 cable replaces bulky video cables.
· Support for multiple transmitters requires a Managed network switch with VLAN/IGMP support. Standard LAN switches can only support one transmitter.
o Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
o One transmitter can connect up to 200 receivers using cascaded managed network switches.
· Cascade managed network switches up to 3 levels, allowing the farthest display to be located up to 1,000 feet away from the source device. Each receiver can be located up to 333 feet from the managed switch.
· For a point-to-many connection, a standalone network with an unmanaged network switch, hub, or router can be used instead of a managed network switch.
o It is not recommended to use any other network devices on this standalone network as it may cause a degradation in performance.
· Use a PC to access the built-in HTTP Interface of the managed network switch to control what signal is being watched at each location.
· Use a Telnet client to access any receiver on the VLAN or network.
· Customizable EDID table on local unit.
· HDCP compliant.
· Local and remote units must be in the same LAN. The units do not support WAN connections.
